AppDynamics learning labs instructions out of date

[Martin Shepherd]

The Cisco AppDynamics learning labs show to use sudo as part of installation of application server agents.  sudo has been disabled apparently according to other threads on the community and permissions given to the ssh user centos/cisco123 to be able to use systemctl etc.  However the instructions in the learning lab point to still use sudo.  This is confusing to customers who want to learn.

Such references to sudo are in the labs:

https://developer.cisco.com/learning/modules/appdynamics-fundamentals/fnd-01-appd-apm-java/step/3

Also the ssh user centos/cisco123 does not have permissions to create directories in /opt where you would normally install third party apps

This is holding up working through all of the DevNet learning labs for AppDynamics, cannot install the agent on the server so cannot setup instrumentation at all.

Edit:  Now resolved.  The user centos on the Application Server in the Sandbox has now been added to the sudoers list, so sudo can be used to create files in /opt and to use systemctl

Hi, 

This is still not resolved; can we get an update? We're unable to install the AppDynamics agent on the Application Server.

Kind regards,

Still not resolved.. This seems like an easy fix and is holding up the entire FSO lab..
